Economic load dispatch provides optimization method which divides demand of the power among online generators economically by satisfying different constraints. ELD can concluded as scheduling of committed generating units by meeting up the demands of the consumers while reducing operational cost to the utilities with satisfying equality and inequality constraints. In this work several optimization algorithm have discussed such as Genetic Algorithm, Lambda Optimization Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization. These optimization algorithms can be used as per the requirement of the system. A hybrid mechanism i.e. BPSO-ST (Binary Particle Swarm Optimization-State Transition) algorithm for ELD is developed in this study. Resultant graph in the result and discussion section shows that BPSO-ST is better in terms of total power output generation and total generation cost and total Power Loss in comparison to the POS, Lambda and GA optimization algorithm. Keywords: Economic Load Dispatch, BPSO, State Transition, Power Generation, Transmission Loss, Total cost. I. INTRODUCTIONElectrical power industry is one of the trending areas in power industry which restructured the vibrant and competitive market in terms of various aspects of the industry. As the progressions have done in the industry, scarcity of the energy resources, ever budding demand for electrical energy, increasing power generation cost necessitate optimal dispatch. Owing to this economic load dispatch provides optimization method which divides demand of the power among online generators economically by satisfying different constraints. Seeing as cost of the power generation is excessive in such case optimum dispatch can helps out in saving considerable amount of money. Accordingly, optimal generation dispatch is one of the imperative problems in power system engineering. This technique is commonly used by operators for system operation in every day. The main idea of using this technique is that it allocates real and reactive power to the power system in order to obtain optimal state which can reduce cost and overall competence of the system [1]. ELD i.e. economic load dispatch problem allocates the real power to the online generating units which leads to the reduction in system cost. In the traditional formulation of economic load dispatch problem there were several problems contradict simplicity of the models. Basic model of the power system is acquired through power balance equation whereas generators are modeled with the smooth quadratic cost functions and last generator through output constraints. Thus in order to improve the power system studies several models have been developed which results in efficient system operation. Several models have developed which provides more accurate representation of the system but on the other hand it may faces increased complexity of the optimization predicament owing to the non-linearity allied with them. Basic property of ELD is that it considers power balance constraint rather than generating capacity lim...
